17 Brand Defined Brand is the symbolic embodiment of all the information connected to a product, company or place. Brand creates associations and expectations.

18 Brand Defined Brand is also the collective perception, planned or incidental, of your place and is the result of every interaction a user has with that product or company or place.

19 Brand Typology Controlled Brand Message and Purpose is specific, targeted and controlled to a selected audience. Foundational Brand Is about cultivation not control. Audience is built of the residents, businesses and potential visitor of your place.

20 A Strong Brand Can: Shift the perception of a place Create a common vision for the future Provide a consistent representation of the place Enhance awareness and positioning photo credit Troy Strawberry Festival

21 BRAND is the most widely used tool to communicate to, attract and convert audiences to action.

22 The challenge of developing a brand for a community is the diverse set of peoples, interests, agendas and visions for the future. The best part of developing a brand for a community is the diverse set of peoples, interests, agendas and visions for the future.
